The First Minister Peter Robinson says the Stormont institutions have

:00:07.:00:12.

been put under threat by today's ruling by the Parades Commission.

:00:13.:00:15.

It barred the Orange Order from returning along part of the Crumlin

:00:16.:00:18.

The decision led to unionists walking out of talks on flags,

:00:19.:00:24.

parades and the past which only began yesterday and

:00:25.:00:28.

Stormont this morning, and Day two of the talks aimed at resolving

:00:29.:00:40.

differences over parades, flags in the past. Inside the committee room,

:00:41.:00:46.

the different delegations met to discuss the issues. Former IRA

:00:47.:00:51.

leaders and a senior official in the Orange Order amongst them. Within 20

:00:52.:00:55.

minutes of these pictures, the two main Unionist parties worked out

:00:56.:00:58.

after learning that the Parades Commission had ruled that the rift

:00:59.:01:02.

on Orange parade could not go past the Ardoyne shops. The Alliance

:01:03.:01:07.

leader and Justice Minister was very far from being impressed. I am

:01:08.:01:13.

horrified and disgusted by the behaviour of the DUP and Ulster

:01:14.:01:17.

Unionists. They talked about the importance of these talks to resolve

:01:18.:01:20.

outstanding issues which played community. Now win today, unrelated

:01:21.:01:25.

to the business in the talks, they have out. In doing so, they have

:01:26.:01:32.

left us with further problems and are raising tensions on the streets.

:01:33.:01:36.

It will be a fraught couple of weeks. If everybody within society

:01:37.:01:44.

who once the peace process to succeed comes together and makes it

:01:45.:01:48.

absolutely clear that violence can have no part whatsoever in how we go

:01:49.:01:52.

forward over the next couple of weeks, that would be a good start.

:01:53.:01:55.

It is about people showing leadership. The two main Unionist

:01:56.:02:03.

parties at Stormont say they want to see a peaceful and lawful reaction

:02:04.:02:07.

to the Parades Commission ruling. But the First Minister had this to

:02:08.:02:12.

say about the future of devolution. Institutions have been put under

:02:13.:02:14.

threat by the behaviour of the Parades Commission and those who

:02:15.:02:19.

threaten the Parades Commission. It is up to us to seek a peaceful

:02:20.:02:23.

response and we trust that along the line people will recognise the

:02:24.:02:27.

importance of having respect and tolerance for the cultural

:02:28.:02:31.

expression of our tradition. And that violence will no longer be

:02:32.:02:34.

allowed to be the determining factor when decisions are taken. Unionist

:02:35.:02:39.

parties said there will be a graduated response to the ruling.

:02:40.:02:44.

After the walk-out today, tomorrow's meeting in Dublin has now

:02:45.:02:45.

been spawned. -- postponed. Orangemen and their supporters are

:02:46.:02:49.

furious at today's ruling It has also raised tensions in the

:02:50.:02:51.

interface area around Ardoyne shops. The lodges are allowed down the

:02:52.:03:06.

Crumlin Road past Ardoyne shops and a 12 morning. But once again, they

:03:07.:03:10.

are not allowed to parade back up the stretch of road in the evening.

:03:11.:03:16.

Last year, protests led to loyalist violence. However, in previous

:03:17.:03:21.

years, when the parade to did get up the Crumlin Road, there was violent

:03:22.:03:26.

protests from Republicans. Today's decision by the commission has

:03:27.:03:30.

angered Orangemen and supporters. There are longer term implications

:03:31.:03:35.

here. What has happened as tarnished the democratic system. I think it

:03:36.:03:40.

will affect how the institution and loyal orders interact with the

:03:41.:03:45.

democratic system. The commission said there had been significant to

:03:46.:03:50.

assess from the Orange Order on its approach to this parade. However, it

:03:51.:03:55.

also said that some within the order had called for a protest over last

:03:56.:04:01.

year's determination which resulted in violence and that undermined

:04:02.:04:06.

progress. I am totally dismayed. I cannot see how a democratic Parades

:04:07.:04:14.

Commission can take the threat of republican extremists over

:04:15.:04:18.

democracy. It shows violence wins over democracy. It is an absolute

:04:19.:04:22.

disgrace. The whole Protestant communities disgusted. Whether we go

:04:23.:04:29.

from here? They have got it right. There is no reason why the Orange

:04:30.:04:32.

Order should be marching through this community. We would ask

:04:33.:04:36.

political leaders to take that on board and give the alternative route

:04:37.:04:41.

the resources it needs to be viable. People, communities and groups will

:04:42.:04:45.

have decisions and choices to make. I need to be clear. We will uphold

:04:46.:04:51.

the role of law. We will uphold the Parades Commission determination.

:04:52.:04:56.

When you boil it down, the Parades Commission took the view that the

:04:57.:05:00.

potential for public disorder outweighed the significance of the

:05:01.:05:03.

12 parade being a road back-up the Crumlin Road. Today's ruling will

:05:04.:05:10.

increase tensions in an already volatile interface area.

:05:11.:05:15.

Earlier, the north Belfast MP Nigel Dodds joined me in the studio.

:05:16.:05:18.

I asked him exactly what his party meant by a graduated response to

:05:19.:05:21.

Well, what we will do is come together as a unionist community.

:05:22.:05:29.

The Unionist family with a loyal orders, to prevent violence. We do

:05:30.:05:33.

not want violence on the streets and get everyone to remain calm. To

:05:34.:05:40.

follow through a plan of action which will involve Unionist leaders,

:05:41.:05:44.

Unionist political parties of political suasion -- all political

:05:45.:05:49.

persuasions. We have made it clear that... As a first step, we will not

:05:50.:05:56.

engage with people about parades, flags in the past who are not

:05:57.:06:00.

sincere, who are hypocritical and hiding behind the threat of

:06:01.:06:04.

violence. Is this political leadership to walk out of talks and

:06:05.:06:10.

increase on Saturday and tension? -- uncertainty and tension? The tension

:06:11.:06:15.

has been caused by the Parades Commission.

:06:16.:06:17.

49 police officers were injured in three days

:06:18.:06:19.

The Secretary of State Theresa Villiers said that

:06:20.:06:21.

The scenes from last year were utterly unacceptable. They were

:06:22.:06:31.

shocking. They saw many police officers injured and that is one of

:06:32.:06:33.

the major reasons why it is essential that the law is updated.

:06:34.:06:40.

That everyone in positions of leadership calls for a moderate and

:06:41.:06:44.

temperate reaction to this determination.

:06:45.:06:45.

And the new Chief Constable George Hamilton will be live on The View

:06:46.:06:49.

after this news bulletin, giving his response to the day's developments.

:06:50.:06:52.

The promoter of next month's Garth Brooks concerts in Dublin says

:06:53.:06:56.

he's disappointed that the licences for two of the five

:06:57.:06:59.

shows at Croke Park have been rejected by the city's council.

:07:00.:07:02.

160,000 people bought tickets for the two concerts

:07:03.:07:06.

in question and many have already booked hotels and transport.

:07:07.:07:11.

Dublin City Council said the level of disruption to residents

:07:12.:07:13.

The concerts were organised by Aiken Promotions.

:07:14.:07:24.

It is devastating. How can go three shows... ? It was two consoles and

:07:25.:07:32.

then crawled into this massive event, five shows, that the whole

:07:33.:07:36.

world was talking about. -- it was to shows. He started getting

:07:37.:07:43.

excited. What started as a simple show became this monster.

:07:44.:07:46.

Football now and in tonight's Europa League first round, four

:07:47.:07:49.

Linfield won their away match against

:07:50.:07:52.

At Seaview, Crusaders won 3-1 against FK Ekranas of Lithuania.

:07:53.:07:59.

Derry City beat Aberyswyth Town 4-0 at the Brandywell.

:08:00.:08:02.

And in the last game to finish tonight, Hafnarfjordur from Iceland

:08:03.:08:04.

Looking ahead to tomorrow and the weekend weather with Angie.

:08:05.:08:17.

We have a spell of wetter weather heading our way but at least in the

:08:18.:08:22.

first part of the night it is mainly dry. That changed at to take place

:08:23.:08:28.

in the second half of the night. The diesel pick-up from the south and

:08:29.:08:31.

clip will thicken to bring spells of rain, particularly in the north and

:08:32.:08:39.

west. -- the breeze picks up. Into tomorrow, things will eventually

:08:40.:08:43.

improve for most of us. It is not getting off to a great start. That

:08:44.:08:47.

rain and brisk winds extending across all parts through the

:08:48.:08:50.

morning, it and even in the rush hour, we can see persistent spells

:08:51.:08:55.

of rain in places. It will be pretty unpleasant out and about on the

:08:56.:08:57.

of rain in places. It will be pretty unpleasant out and about roads in

:08:58.:08:59.

the morning and visibility might be a bit of an issue as well a surface

:09:00.:09:03.

water and spray. That band of wet and windy weather extends from the

:09:04.:09:07.

Republic of Ireland into the north and west of Scotland. Little energy

:09:08.:09:11.

stores into the IBC to affect parts of north-west England, North West

:09:12.:09:19.

Wales and parts of England. The best sunshine is in the south-east. The

:09:20.:09:22.

very one day and temperatures could be heading up to 27 Celsius. -- warm

:09:23.:09:29.

day. Try when starts to move into the West of Ireland and we will see

:09:30.:09:33.

drier weather moving to the north of Ireland as well. It could be the

:09:34.:09:37.

afternoon before we see the rain bleeding from the East. The evening

:09:38.:09:40.

might be a bit brighter. Low pressure remains in charge to the

:09:41.:09:45.

north of us as we head into the weekend. Although there will be

:09:46.:09:47.

priced spells around, they will also be showers. They could be heavy and

:09:48.:09:49.

thundery. News Online and Radio Ulster can

:09:50.:09:50.

keep you up to date until then. When Barbara and I

:09:51.:09:56.

started the Review, we were seeking to examine

:09:57.:10:09.

the workings and the truthfulness

:10:10.:10:12.

of establishments.
